Why Grief & Joy Exists

Because life doesn’t stay in one lane.

One minute you’re grieving. The next you’re laughing at something wildly inappropriate.

We create cards and products for the moments that don’t fit inside traditional words—the messy, complicated, very human ones.

If you’ve ever not known what to say…
you’re our kind of person.

Grief and Joy is an uplifting site. Mindy’s loss has turned into a gift to the world through her uplifting messages, reminders that we all experience hard moments in life and that everyday we should take care of ourselves. Thank you Grief and Joy for all your guiding messages and hilarious cards!

The Grief & Joy blog has been something I have enjoyed reading regularly. Mindy’s perspective on her personal loss as well as her happiness through it all has been both touching and made me laugh. ❤️ Her words have helped me see that it really is possible and ok to experience a devastating loss and yet still find joy and be happy. I have purchased some of the cards and can’t wait to send them to friends and family. These cards convey exactly how we often think but can’t find the card that says it the right way.
